Games across the BBC. Now on BBC One, time for the

:00:00.:00:00.

The Justice Minister has described proposals to break the deadlock over

:00:00.:00:08.

David Ford was speaking after studying

:00:09.:00:12.

a finance paper circulated yesterday aimed at resolving the stand-off

:00:13.:00:16.

The paper tackles a shortfall of ?75 million in the annual budget,

:00:17.:00:23.

and looming penalties of around ?90 million from the Treasury

:00:24.:00:25.

because welfare reform hasn't been introduced here.

:00:26.:00:30.

However, Mr Ford said the compromise between the two parties does not

:00:31.:00:33.

It seems to me there is an attempt to push welfare cuts down the road.

:00:34.:00:49.

They are going to be have -- have to be dealt with some time. There will

:00:50.:00:53.

be no further concessions on welfare cuts. People need to live up to

:00:54.:01:00.

that. If they happen to manage to scrape by, they will have an even

:01:01.:01:07.

bigger problem next year, by protecting to departments, one led

:01:08.:01:11.

by the day UPI one led by Sinn Fein, other departments after

:01:12.:01:16.

suffering. -- are suffering.

:01:17.:01:20.

There's been a fish kill on the Bessbrook River in county Armagh.

:01:21.:01:22.

The Northern Ireland Environment Agency say

:01:23.:01:24.

their inspectors visited the scene and confirmed that the river had

:01:25.:01:27.

The agency says the source of the pollution has been identified

:01:28.:01:30.

So far it is believed 60 fish have been killed, but that

:01:31.:01:34.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder

:01:35.:01:38.

A 27-year-old man was found with stab injuries to his chest

:01:39.:01:41.

It happened at a house in Carnagh Park.

:01:42.:01:45.

The injured man is believed to be in a serious

:01:46.:01:47.

The arrested man, who's 57, was also treated

:01:48.:01:50.

They are not believed to be life-threatening.

:01:51.:02:03.

For teenagers who set off on a boat trip to Scotland got a surprise when

:02:04.:02:11.

they had a close in counter with a large seasonal visitor to our

:02:12.:02:16.

shores. -- four teenagers. It was meant to be a short hop to

:02:17.:02:22.

Scotland, but these teenagers got a lot more than they bargained for on

:02:23.:02:25.

their way back. They came face-to-face with a giant of the

:02:26.:02:34.

sea, a hump backed wail. He went underneath us! Oh, that's

:02:35.:02:47.

incredible! Back on shore, and several days on, the friends have

:02:48.:02:52.

had time to reflect on the encounter. I never expected to see

:02:53.:03:06.

something so -- like this so close. It's played all the water in the air

:03:07.:03:13.

and it went in our face, it was the worst smell I have ever smelt. What

:03:14.:03:19.

is the worst smell you have ever smelt? It was just a strong smell of

:03:20.:03:26.

fish. Humpback whales are not seen

:03:27.:03:30.

terribly often in local waters, but this sighting is one of a number in

:03:31.:03:39.

recent days. The Wales are coming from their breeding grounds of West

:03:40.:03:42.

Africa and heading up the coast towards the Artic. The reason they

:03:43.:03:47.

tend to hang around in our waters is quite simple, the food is good. --

:03:48.:03:57.

towards the Artic. The children enjoying the second day

:03:58.:04:07.

of the sweltering heat were also enjoying themselves. Their parents

:04:08.:04:11.

and grandparents were struggling to keep the sun's raise at bay. She

:04:12.:04:16.

will get a little bit cranky when it gets too warm, but when you have the

:04:17.:04:22.

little pool, you can call her down. If I saw this scene in Brittany, you

:04:23.:04:30.

look a bit French. What do you make of the weather?

:04:31.:04:37.

Fantastic. Is it more challenging to paint on a bright day or an overcast

:04:38.:04:46.

day? I have in my mind what sort of whether I'm going to be painting in

:04:47.:04:55.

any way. Whatever I want, I can make it, artist's licence.

:04:56.:05:01.

Like our weather forecasters expect I may come to regret that smart

:05:02.:05:02.

remark. The first day of the Commonwealth

:05:03.:05:13.

Games has drawn to a close. Stephen Watson?s been following

:05:14.:05:16.

the action for us in Glasgow. It's been a busy day for Team NI -

:05:17.:05:18.

and Northern Ireland has won In the Scottish Exhibition

:05:19.:05:26.

and Conference Centre behind me judo player Lisa Kearney took

:05:27.:05:29.

the bronze after a thrilling fight. It's the first judo medal at

:05:30.:05:39.

the Commonwealth Games since 2002. And the person who won 14

:05:40.:05:44.

years ago was here tonight. This is the moment she had been

:05:45.:06:08.

teaming of. -- dreaming of. The 25-year-old forced her opponent into

:06:09.:06:12.

submission with 32 seconds to -- remaining, to win the bronze medal.

:06:13.:06:20.

I am delighted. Kick-start the Commonwealth Games with a medal for

:06:21.:06:29.

Northern Ireland, and hopefully there will be a few more to follow.

:06:30.:06:36.

I think I performed well today. It was difficult to come back from a

:06:37.:06:42.

set back or a disappointment like that, to then come back and win a

:06:43.:06:47.

medal, so I am pleased I have the resilience to do that.

:06:48.:06:52.

She emulated Londonderry's Lisa Bradley, who was Northern Ireland's

:06:53.:07:00.

last medal winner 12 years ago. Judo is not a core sport, so these

:07:01.:07:12.

medals are very sought after. It is my first Championship, I have won a

:07:13.:07:21.

few big fights on the judo circuit, but I have never one a Championship

:07:22.:07:26.

medal. So Lisa wins Northern Ireland's

:07:27.:07:29.

first medal of the Commonwealth Games, and creates memories that

:07:30.:07:31.

will never be forgotten. Northern Ireland's young swimming

:07:32.:07:36.

team did well in the pool today. Three competitors made it into

:07:37.:07:38.

semifinals in tonight's session in Sycerika McMahon was

:07:39.:07:42.

the most impressive, coming second in her heat this

:07:43.:07:49.

morning to book a place in tonight's She finished fifth this evening,

:07:50.:07:53.

just four one-hundredths of a second outside

:07:54.:07:56.

the time needed to make the final. Gemma Kane in the 100 fly and

:07:57.:07:59.

Jordan Sloan in the 100 back also went out in their

:08:00.:08:01.

semis, but credit to the women?s 4 They came eighth in the final -

:08:02.:08:05.

but what an experience for a team including two 14-year-olds,

:08:06.:08:09.

Rachel Bethel and Danielle Hill. Northern Ireland athletes were

:08:10.:08:15.

involved in a handful Here's a roundup of the some

:08:16.:08:18.

of the rest of the action. Aileen Reid is a regular on the

:08:19.:08:39.

triathlon circuit, and hopes are high for another medal. After an

:08:40.:08:46.

impressive swim she was in the leading bunch for the cycle. She

:08:47.:08:52.

faded a little in the run as her trading -- training partner took the

:08:53.:08:58.

gold medal. Still, she finished in an excellent sixth place.

:08:59.:09:08.

The girls were running sold to shoulder, allowing me to stay in it

:09:09.:09:14.

comfortably. I am happy with everything I did.

:09:15.:09:18.

The netball team made a bit of history by playing their first ever

:09:19.:09:23.

match at the Games, and got off to a good start.

:09:24.:09:27.

But they were eventually well beaten by Malawi.

:09:28.:09:31.

Michael Craig went out in the singles of the men's squash, but

:09:32.:09:35.

Madelyn Terry made it through to the last 16.

:09:36.:09:41.

Brother and sister Sinead and Kiran Chambers are one of two sets of

:09:42.:09:47.

siblings in the badminton team, but Northern Ireland lost five mil to

:09:48.:09:48.

England. In lawn bowls Northern Ireland's

:09:49.:09:52.

teams won three but lost four in Finally, football,

:09:53.:09:55.

and a challenging night Linfield lost 2-0 to AIK Solna

:09:56.:09:58.

and went out 2-1 on aggregate. Crusaders drew 1-1 tonight

:09:59.:10:03.

but go out 5-1 on aggregate, Derry are also out, after

:10:04.:10:05.

a 6-1 aggregate defeat in Belarus. Now here's Cecilia Daly with

:10:06.:10:09.

a look at the weather forecast Once again today has turned out for

:10:10.:10:37.

hottest day of 2014 so far. -- the hottest day. It is going to cool

:10:38.:10:42.

down this weekend, meaning another very warm night ahead. A little bit

:10:43.:10:47.

more comfortable in the countryside, but in Belfast it may not get much

:10:48.:10:51.

lower than 16 or 17 degrees in the city centre. Temperatures rising

:10:52.:10:57.

quickly tomorrow, and plenty of sunshine to come. Perhaps some early

:10:58.:11:02.

morning mist, that should learn down fairly quickly. Lots of sunshine

:11:03.:11:09.

around right through the morning. A similar story from many parts of

:11:10.:11:14.

Britain and all and, you can see the mist and fog close to the north and

:11:15.:11:18.

east of Scotland. -- written and Ireland. Very few showers around,

:11:19.:11:26.

maybe one or two against -- across south-west Arlen. -- Southwest

:11:27.:11:39.

Ardent. -- Ireland. On Friday night things start to

:11:40.:11:43.

change, and on Saturday showers will move south eastwards. We are

:11:44.:11:50.

expecting fresh air to move in for Saturday night, winds moving in to

:11:51.:11:53.

One, two, three, four. Here they come!
